If someone wanted to make sure they had only one line of authors, an easy way to do that would be to set the character count to 5 or 10. I agree that it would have been easier to have a line count since I did have to change my character count a few times before I got it correct.
Also, how would it be determined how many characters fit on a line when it depends on the screen size plus resolution plus what system font and what font size. lcd density and system font can be changed if you are rooted, and when I had my Motorola Atrix 4g one of the upgrades changed the lcd density to make the fonts appear bigger.
I have my Nexus 7 set to 150 characters and I get 3 lines on that which is pretty close to what my Nexus 5 gets with 45 characters. And if I decided to change my system font it would be different still.
